Difficulty falling: asleep is often associated w/anxiety while waking up early and not returning to sleep is associated w/depression. Periodic waking is associated w/overall light sleep. Please see you doc who may order a sleep study. A psychologist can help w/stress management. Peace and good health. Yes, it is reversible. Your psyche will do triple time w/REM sleep to make up for the loss of dreaming eventually.

I have trouble sleeping, and I'm nauseous. What could be wrong? I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm having trouble sleeping lately. I wake up two to three times a night. I'll be awake for awhile, up to two hours before being able to fall asleep again.
